SOCCER FAN Reacts to NFL Most Athletic Plays of All Time 

I love all sports but American Football is on a different level with everything... athletic ability, strategy, situational awareness, you name it, football is the pinnacle.

5:59 RIP Marion Barber, he died 4 days ago.

I'm so happy to see international fans of American Football. It's amazing what these athletes can do. I appreciate folks giving it a chance.

I played football, but not professional, but as an American. When you play the game you don't care really about your on safety, but you give everything you have for your team.

These type of plays are happening more often now that players are becoming more athletic. You see them almost every game

11:45 - I believe it's called Football because the length of the ball is one foot(12 inches). Plus they do use their feet for kickoffs, punts, and field goals

This really is the ultimate sport. Not just because of the brutal athleticism, but because it's an ever changing chess match. I can't wait for next season to get started... GO NINERS

Plays like these are actually more common than the massive hits.

Football is the best thing ever!!! I can't wait for the season to start!!!

“Football” was an older game that evolved into soccer (officially association football), rugby (officially rugby football), and then American football. The Brits coined the term soccer and the Americans picked it up because it made sense for them to differentiate between soccer and American football. Since rugby football was shortened to rugby, there was no need for it to stay soccer in England and just “football” was solidified as the official name.

Goddy: watches dozens of clips of players running 17-20MPH and doing gymnastics. Also Goddy: “Why are they not using their feet?”

Some of the players can run between 17 and 20 miles per hour, so when they hit or tackle someone going full speed, it causes injuries. Many of the players live in ice baths the day after the game, and the constant trauma can shave years off of their life expectancy.

Most of the people you see in this video been playing this game since they was 4 so they mastered the game of America football 😂. Also it’s a lot safer then what it use to be 😂

“What the hell did I just see?” 😂😂😂😂❤️

In many ways this sport exemplifies the American ideal: it's a game which requires excellent teamwork in order to succeed, but also highlights individual achievements within that framework. On each play there are eleven men lining up for each team, each of them with specific responsibilities for that play; if one player fails in their duties, it will often mean failure for his entire team. On the other hand, you do occasionally see plays such as these where a single player demonstrates exceptional athleticism and overcomes their opponents, no matter how well those around him play. There have been a number of top players in the NFL who were born in Africa over the years, and there are several active in 2022. Nigerian Christian Okoye is one of the best known among them and was a top running back for the Kansas City Chiefs in the late 1980s, leading the league in rushing yards in 1989.

These isolated plays are interesting (and sometimes pretty) to look at, but in terms of the actual sport they don''t mean anything. The flow of each game can extend throughout the entire match, and while individual plays and hits and other elements might well make a difference in the game, football is a TEAM game. One star athlete is usually not enough to get a team consistent victories. It's about identifying and addressing patterns of play and exploiting weaknesses on the other team.

football originally referred to a variety of games in Medieval Europe, which were played on foot. Soccer, rugby, and football all evolved from the same game. American football Just never changed the name.

I'm glad you liked this video more than the one with the big hits. Great reaction.

You see the way we get down...Yesszzirr.

Think of football as a battlefield. One side is trying to get the spoils (a touchdown), while other side is trying to defend their spoils and possibly get some of their own. The offensive side has far plays to advance 10 yards. If they advance 10 or more yards, they get four more chances- called downs- to advance another 10 yards. The offense continues advancing until they breach the defense's fortress- the end zone- or if the don't get the 10 yards. The are certain rules to the game that you pick up as you watch, but this is the basis for what you're watching. Enjoy! It is a great sport 💯

You’re right about Antonio Brown. Unfortunately he has had many on and off-the-field issues. The last game he played he quit in the middle of the match and made a big scene while running off the field. There are clips online of the live footage if you’re interested. Many people believe he has CTE.

Glory is a helluva drug.

8:35 wait until he realizes that we play this from middle school to high school to maybe college to maybe the nfl

My Nigerian brother😂 your reaction is top notch!!! You should follow up with the NFL, it’s the best choice you can make!

At 6:30 the run by Marshawn Lynch literally caused an earthquake. The crowd went so crazy it actually appeared on the richter scale (which is used to measure earthquakes.

2:15 you see these kinds of things at least 10 times every single game

Down here in New Orleans, football isn’t just a game, it’s a religion. Lol. You need to see a game live.

If you truly want to be amazed and see something unbelievable you should watch the top 50 runs of Barry Sanders. He was truly something spectacular on that field.

There is a way to challenge a play. Officials can throw a yellow flag to denote a penalty. Coaches have three red flags per game. They can throw the flag to challenge the calling the penalty or the results of the play such as whether a play made a certain yardage or a touchdown. If the challenge is successful after the referees review on instant replay, then the team is moved to the designated spot or score is awarded. If unsuccessful, then the team is charged with a timeout. There are timeouts per half. Each time has two ref flags per game. If the first two are successful, they get one more.

11:22 From my understanding, sports played on your feet (rather than mounted on an animal, etc.) and involving a ball are categorized as Football. That's why it's Association Football, Rugby Football, Gaelic Football, Gridiron Football, etc. It has nothing to do with utilizing your feet to interact with the ball. It's just people decided to shorten organizations' names for everyday use. Association Football became popular worldwide, making it many Countries' default Football game. Association Football was already coined as Soccer by the English and spread globally at the time, and Americans kept the term. Out of all the various Football games in North America, Gridiron Football was more popular than the others, becoming North America's default Football game.

In football's infancy, the forward pass was almost a rarity. The ball was kicked much more often than it is now. In today's game the ball is kicked off to the opposing team at the beginning of the game, after a team has scored, and for instances when the team is stalled within kicking range of the goal post. A team has four chances or 'downs' to advance ten yards. They will seldom use the fourth down because if they fail to make the necessary distance, the other team gets the ball no matter where it is located on the field. So if the team is too far from the goal to try a' field goal', the 'punter' will come out and kick the ball to the opposing team. If a team is within range for a field goal, the 'kicker' will be called on for the fourth down play to kick the ball between the uprights of the goal post to score three points. Touchdowns score six points and there is an opportunity for one additional point after a touchdown if the kicker (from the 35 yard line) can kick the ball through the uprights of the goal. The kicker and punter, along with the 'long snapper' are specialists and don't participate in any other portion of the game. The punter receives the ball in his hands and 'drop kicks' it, while for the kicker the ball is placed on a tee or, in the case of a field goal, held upright on the ground by a teammate known as the 'holder'. In that scenario, the ball is 'hiked' between the legs of the 'long snapper' to the holder who then holds the ball upright for the kicker. As you watch actual games, you'll see a man hike the ball to the quarterback, who is usually standing immediately behind him, sometimes actually touching the inside of his leg. The quarterback will then either pass the ball to a receiver or hand it off to a runner. At times the quarterback will be a few yards behind the 'center' who is the man who hikes or 'snaps' the ball to him. The long snapper, on the other hand, always hikes the ball a longer distance to the 'holder'. Thus the name of his position.

It is dangerous, yes. But, it’s also beautiful. The most exceptionally athletic men on the planet doing superhero ish in real time.

American football is like Soccer and Rugby had a mean child together, and called it football. Can you see now why we love our football so much, and why it is such a HUGE issue in high school and college/university? Even our kid's leagues are tougher than adult FIFA soccer. 🤣. We do love struggling & fighting to WIN... it is the American spirit. Trust me, you'd love it once you learned it and tried it... it's like a fever that you can't shake and don't want to stop.

It's called Football because the ball is 12 inches or 1 foot long, hence "football." They're referring to the actual ball, not how it's played.

Based on this video they should change the name of the game from football to You Could Fall Badly. Great reaction

This is a great video to watch you start to like the sport in real time. hope you do more NFL!

I love your enthusiasm! 👍

A note about the name of "football" in America. What is now American football was introduced to America on east coast university campuses as rugby in the late 19th century. At the time the game WAS more about running and kicking the ball past goalposts. However, as we Americans are prone to do, we customize rules to suit our tastes and, of course, we gave it our own name. As people got more injured, the general public demanded measures to make the game safer and more and more safety equipment came into use. Since the game was played at universities, interested educated men who enjoyed the game wanted to formalize the rules and organize the game to attempt to make it safer. One change was to break apart the traditional rugby scrum which was viewed as chaotic and dangerous into a scrimmage line akin to two "army" battle lines. The idea being that the offense would attempted to penetrate the defense's line and touch the ball down in the defensive end zone then the other team would get a turn. This was viewed as an improvement as it was less chaotic and more structured with play stopping once a payer was tackled and resuming with a new scrimmage line where he was tackled. As the sport became more popular, more rules were added to try to lessen the likelihood of injury. One such rule, which changed the game forever and is the real source of "futbol" fan's derision of the name of our game, is the creation of the forward pass to allow another way to advance the ball without bulling your way through a massive line of people to tackle you. Now, after the restart of play, an offensive player can run past the scrimmage line, have the ball heaved toward him, catch it, and advance the ball. Much like adding the three point shot to basketball opened up the space around the rim by forcing the defender to cover the rim and the perimeter, this opened up the offenses to either run at the line of scrimmage to gain territory or have receivers run past the line to catch a pass which forced defenses to adjust and create a more open, exciting, and enjoyable game. This is where the real disassociation of the foot from American football came to fruition. The introduction of the forward pass in the early 20th century and its ascendance ever since, however, has been a major factor in making professional American football (NFL) and MAJOR college American football the two most popular sports in the United States.

As an American football fan I also agree that the name makes little sense

You should watch College Football Miracles. These are the most insane moments in college football.

I said it on a different channel but the reason America will likely *never* win a World Cup is cause most of our top 1% athletes here play American Football. Then basketball then baseball.

It feels like there are a disproportionate amount of falcons plays in this video

I think at some point you asked about why it’s called football in the video, I believe it’s called football because rugby used to be known as rugby-football and football is similar to rugby. I might be wrong though

You should check out Bo Jackson. He played in the NFL and MLB. amazing Athlete.

NHL hockey hits and fights.

You can call American Football “Gridiron” alternate name

The US calls it Football because rugby and football used to be under the same football association. The US slang took after the English slang at the time to add er to the end of soc in association to refer to football. This just stuck in the US to be called Soccer, and we refer to american football as Football from Football association. Only later on did the countries differentiate the two sports from each other under different names. Especially since rugby and American Football have drastically different rules and regulations from each other as of now. Edit: For American Football we wear specialized helmates with face guards, multilayered football shoulder guards (what makes the players look like the helmate meets their neck under the shirt), built in padded pants on the groin and knees, sometimes padded shin guards (player by player basis as they usually don't get injured there anyways). Safety in football has been taken into account drastically from how it used to be. When you wear the full thing, you feel like a tank. It's the reason we're able to exert the power of a 75mph car crash so confidently, then immediately jump to our feet and jump around like "LOOK AT ME!" Lol

Now think about this 80 % of NFL players run a 4 sec. 40 yrd dash Most of them run 4.5 or less in the 40

"Craziest "Referee Interference" Moments in Sports History"

you should try reacting to "barry sanders" and "walter payton", youll be mind blown. loved the reaction !

This video really shows the work out in for these games

The NFL has the biggest, strongest athletes there is. My Dad was friends with 2 ex NFL players and we were at a college game and my car got blocked in. These 2 men picked up my Ford Mustange and moved it so I could leave. One guy weighed 480lbs and the other one weighed 540lbs. These men were so big that my mom wouldn't let them sit on our chairs because they had broken some of our chairs. These men also make millions to play this game.

I had to like your videos brother holy crap a lot of the videos you show in your videos are unique and they're not shown by the mainstream so you definitely got some good stuff

What I find ironic is that futbol players will use their heads to redirect a pass being kick at least 70+ KPH but American Football is dangerous lol

Yes, I guess these are "all time", but really MOST from the last 15 or so years and a lot do happen on a fairly consistent basis.

Lol "That's very very dangerous"

The top most valuable sports teams in the world is a good one to react to.

"ANGRY MLB PLAYERS BREAKING BATS!!" very impressive stuff

I agree about the name, it should be called Campball to honor Walter camp who created the sport or American rugby because it comes from rugby.

Players can get seriously hurt. Broken bones, concussions, head trauma. Players used to die sometimes before all the modern safety equipment. You should watch one of the videos showing the most brutal hits. You wondered what happens if the guy gets hit when flipping in the air .... one of these videos will show you. Its not pretty.

😎👍

My question is how is American football too violent when rugby hits are just as massive? Please Explain?!

The reason why they call it football is because they start with kickoffs and they kick goals

Really like your reactions! Watch the Denver Broncos;)

you use your foot during kickoff and punting and when your fighting

10:59 Yes!

I just don't understand that NFL players get hit, HARD but 98% of the time bounce right up. Soccer players barely get touched and they're like screaming in pain. Now, I played both football and I played soccer for 20 years. I never got hurt, or witnessed anyone get tripped and scream in agony!! Well, unless they tore an MCL or ACL. But, that's different.

we are more understanding than you think. we understand soccer is football to you. its ok to just call soccer football. you can just refer to football as american football.

Watch mike Vick, Cam Newton, Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski that’s just a few with different but AMAZING highlight films there’s so much more guys this is nothing I’m telling you. You see stuff like this every week

I’m sure u have been told this about a million times but u need to check out nfl biggest hits

actually a lot of football players wrestle as another sport to improve their hand and foot work

Just imagine your job was to be in several car crashes every Sunday and some Monday nights.

Amazing plays in the MLB also.

Here's another, more recent play that should be added to the list: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xBPDlF6agfM.html

Try watching the Bo Jackson stuff on you tube!

4:51 That's called a "Juke"

I'm literally watching ur video watching the football for Europeans. Was gonna comment that u would like the game once u understood the rules and strategies. Enjoy the ride, it's a beautiful game. ✌ Forgot to say...GO CHIEFS!!!!!

Check out Favre the gunslinger and Aaron Rodgers anything he does but my favs are his hard count free plays GPG!!!

you might enjoy watching Christian Okoye. A young African soccer player who walked onto a college football tryout and became a football player. He was called the Nigerian Nightmare. Don't know it's a reaction video but you might enjoy it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JwxCa1csxKc.html

I noticed you keep saying this is very dangerous. True. If its made in America it’s probably dangerous. Lol

Richest sports league in the world.

It's called Football because the ball is a foot long (fun fact)

Yeah well, the league is 80% black, so I'm sure this guy enjoyed it.

There really ain’t no hard hits or anything anymore the nfl has controlled that

Now you know why we laugh at soccer, and those so called athletes.

This is why we dont like soccer in the U.S.

These aren’t nothing like seriously these aren’t close to the greatest other then a few there all newer within the last couple year a lot of these are guys just jumping over people you have so many times guys breaking 12 tackles for touchdowns or very similar. a recent guy that has a better play list than this himself is Rob Gronkowski
